The Icthians
After the parasite had been removed from all citizens Icthian officials passed numerous new laws to ensure that such a security breach could never happen again. The destroyed fleet at Thishen was a great loss but plans were underway to build replacements. Studies of Icthian battle tactics at Thishen are now leading to further advances in anti-ship weaponry and upgrades to fighters; combined with Halcyon technology that was retained, the fleet would hopefully be more effective. Socially, the Icthian people mourn for their dead, especially those wiped out by the Caarnth toxin. Though it is accepted in diplomatic circles that the actions of the Caarnth were understandable, there remains a great hatred amongst the Icthian people.
Amongst the governments of the Icthian homeworld, squabbling broke out as to who was responsible for the propagation of the parasite. As such, tensions remain high between nations and external diplomacy is suffering as a result, as the various governments take steps to disassociate themselves from the others even at the extraterrestrial level.
